A-ban-don ex-am-ple a-base-ment Fa-na-tic per Par ta ker for mer per-fu mer Words of three Syllables, accented on the last Syllabie: Lessons in Words not exceeding three Syllables. LESSON I. Of Duty to God. You have heard and read in Les-sons be-fore this, what your du-ty to God and Man is, but lest you should for-get it, or not think your-self bound to do it, I re-mind you of it a-gain. Re-mem-ber then, God ex-pects your ear-ly youth-ful days should be spent well. He gives you a strict charge, and you must o-bey him. You must not neglect to serve him at Church ia pub-lic wor-ship; but be ve-ry rea-dy at all times when you are called upon to serve him. You must not go to serve God by force, nor be an-gry or sor-ry when you are cal-led to Church or to Prayers; for then he will be an-gry with you, be-cause you dis-o-bey him and your pa-rents. LESSON II. Of Duty to Parents, c. undivided for Trial. He that knows his duty towards God as he ought to do, will not fail to please and obey his parents. Let God be the first in your thoughts when you awake, and last of all things when you go to bed; for if you thus think of God, and fear him all the day long, he will give you all the good things that this world can afford, and much more than you deserve, or even can desire. He that loves God, will love and obey his parents, and will strive to please them in all lawful things they require of him to do. A good boy will not pout and be sullen when he is told of a fault, but will mind what his father, mother, master, or friends say to him; and if he has any good nature, or good manners, he will endeavour to mend his former faults, and de so no more: for those children that disobey their parents, seldom prosper, but often come to sorrow and some ill end. LESSON III. Selected out of the Psalms, and out of the Proverbs of Solomon. Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in that law will he exercise himself day and night. As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away from the face of the earth. The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 1 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes but he that hearkeneth to good counsel is wise. When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. The Lord is far from the wicked; but he hears the prayer of the righteous.. The fear of the Lord is the fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. The fear of the Lord prolongeth days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying: correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is from the Lord. TABLE XII.
